Locate Underground Utilities
In South Dakota, you are required by law to call at least two working days before you dig. For safety and economic reasons, you don’t want to dig into buried utilities like power cables, gas lines, water pipes and such.

When you call, make sure you have information ready, like your address and phone number, the companies or municipalities that serve your area, and what kind of work you plan to do.
South Dakota One Call is not responsible for marking the lines on your property, but they do contact those who are. The system makes the entire process much easier because you only make one contact, not several.
After your call, one or more locators will visit your site and mark utilities with stakes, flags or paint. When you begin work, make sure you stay at least two feet from the marked lines.
